Recently a channel on the internet site Twitch.tv was set up for over 80,000 people to simultaneously play Pokemon red and blue version through controls entered in the comment section. This site allows players to work together to try to beat the game. As of right now there is over 7 days of game play and the players have still not reached victory road. (A task that normally takes 20 hours of gameplay to defeat.) Over the last several days the site has had to restart multiple times because of the multitude of users clogging the site. Many users are trying to purposely "troll" the progress of the game by releasing pokemon or having the player walk into random walls. This experiment will probably go down as the most popular interactive internet sensation this year and is very entertaining for pokemon fans everywhere.
